Viennese Bronze with Pheasant

About the Item

Rare Vienna bronze pheasant 23 cm wide and 16 cm high. The small, brightly colored bronze figures, made in Vienna, Austria, from 1850 are bronzes of rare quality. Often small in size, Vienna bronzes can vary from a few millimeters to almost a meter. Attractive objects, these sculptures, of great finesse, surprise by their vivacity and their sometimes very amusing side. These 19th century bronze sculptures are well known for their high technical quality as well as the great care given to detail, movement and expression: the talent of Austrian sculptors then reached an international level. These bronzes are famous for their naturalistic representation and are distinguished by a wide range of extremely varied subjects: human figures (representations of trades, oriental inspirations...), all species of animals and in particular birds (dogs, cats, horses, insects, reptiles, rodents,....), scenes with Indians or Arabs , erotic motifs as well as charming little comical scenes. The artists are inspired by different styles, Renaissance, Baroque, Art Nouveau... Each of these works is a unique piece, the carving is done by hand and the details differ between two pieces. The finishes (paint, patina, etc.) are handmade and very neat. These bronzes have the particularity of being painted cold, according to processes whose secret has been lost. It is especially in France that the tradition of bronze figurines is widespread, it will be imported to Vienna by Mathias Bergmann, in 1850, the most famous workshop. It was on this date that he began to melt and paint figurines. It is the beginning of the bronzes of Vienna which were going to know a world fame.
